I built 2.4.0-test10 for my laptop and got caught out by `make config'.
When I typed `Pentium-II' for my CPU type, it selected Pentium-III and
my kernel wouldn't boot. To prevent errors of this type, please apply
this patch. As a bonus, `Celeron' will now work as an answer too.
Please apply.

That would rock. Plan9 is unix done the right way -- i.e., the fully

The driver itself has to provide support for serial cons

Results for SMP 2.2.18 vs SMP 2.4.0-test12 are in.
I repeated my earlier tests on a much faster dual P-III machine.

Note that kernel compilation really isn't a very relevant benchmark,
because percentage differences in this range can be basically just noise:
things like driver version differences that show

Hi,
Have you tried setting MPS to 1.1 in your bios (instead of 1.4)?
This seems to be needed for 2.2.x kernels but not 2.4.x.

Stephen.

I do not know exactly. It depends on curcumstances, frequency
of the stalls and... your luck. 8)

That was #ifdef MODULE_PARM not #ifdef

Actually, do it with
make -j3 'MAKE=make -j3' bzImage
A single "-j3" won't do much. It will only build three directories at a
time, and you'll never see much load. But doing it recur
Nope, this didn't fly. Would have been neat if it did work. Maybe it can
be made to work for future use?

Make sure you do not use either matroxfb or XFree's driver... Same chip
